[Smoke, pollutant and pollutant carrier].

Smoke as a carrier of atmospheric pollution, is able to break the barrier between external and internal environment of a respiring creature. Primary pollutants arise from all processes of combustion able to affect ecosystems or biologic mechanisms. Among physiologic factors influencing susceptibility to airway disease are size of contact-area between respiratory tissue and airways. Some airway diseases are influenced by pollution. The atmospheric and industrial pollutants irritant to airways are inevitable whereas the habit of smoking is at the own responsibility of each individual. The withdrawal programs for smokers of the association of Swiss physicians (FMH) and the Swiss Office of public health are fully supported.

[Proceedings: The effect of volume manipulation (bloodletting or dextran administration) on pressure in the pulmonary circulation and on the hematocrit].

In a clinical survey the respective effects have been compared of venesection and of hypervolemic hemodilution on hematocrit and pressure in the pulmonary circulation. Whereas after venesection the pressure in the pulmonary circulation and the hematocrit decrease slightly, infusion of 1000 ml Macrodex is followed by marked hemodilution and a distinct increase in pressure in the pulmonary circulation.
